Effect of Preoperative Beta-Blocker Use on Outcomes Following Cardiac Surgery
Recent studies suggest that the use of preoperative β blockers in cardiac surgery may not provide improved mortality rates and may even contribute to negative clinical outcomes. We therefore assessed the role of β blockers on several outcomes after cardiac surgery (delirium, acute kidney injury [AKI], stroke, atrial fibrillation (AF), mortality, an d hospital length of stay) in 4,076 patients who underwent elective coronary artery bypass grafting, coronary artery bypass grafting + valve, or valve cardiac surgery from November 1, 2009, to September 30, 2015, at Vanderbilt Medical Center.

Super High Dose Beta-blocker Administration for the Patients with Dilated Cardiomyopathy
First case is a 25-year-old female with dilated cardiomyopathy. Left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) was 74  mm and ejection fraction (EF) was 29%. Carvedilol was already uptitrated to 20 mg twice daily. Right heart catheterization (RHC) revealed very low cardiac output (C.O. 2.82 l/min), cardiac index (C.I. 1.47 l/min/m2), stroke volume (SV 29 ml) and rapid heart rate (HR 96/min) despite maximu m dosage of carvedilol in Japan. Carvedilol was uptitrated to 50 mg twice daily and additional 10 mg bisoprolol twice daily was started under administration of low-dose dobutamine.

“Quackery” that saves lives
I’m used to being a target of mainstream medicine. I can’t even count the number of times I’ve been called a “quack.”  Let me give you just one example… For decades I’ve been treating my patients with a proven therapy. The FDA approved it way back in 1953. I use it to help my patients detox from mercury, lead, cadmium and other heavy metals. In fact, more than 100,000 people get this therapy every year in the U.S. But mainstream doctors still laugh at the idea of this treatment and think it’s pure bunk. I’m talking about intravenous (IV) chelation. Even though I’ve...

Improved outcomes in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction during the last 20  years are related to implementation of evidence-based treatments: experiences from the SWEDEHEART registry 1995–2014
ConclusionGradual implementation of new and established evidence-based treatments in STEMI patients during the last 20  years has been associated with prolonged survival and lower risk of recurrent ischaemic events, although a plateauing is seen since around 2008.

Risk Factors of On-Pump Conversion during Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Graft.
Conclusion: Patients who undergo OPCABG and have CHF or a lower EF (<35%) are more likely to undergo on-pump conversion, while preoperative BB administration could help prevent conversions from OPCABG to on-pump CABG. PMID: 29124027 [PubMed]

Pharmacological intervention in hypertension using beta-blockers: real ‐world evidence for long-term effectiveness
In conclusion, bisoprolol showed sustained benefit on survival, evident from 2 years after treatment initiation versus other β‐blockers, and from 5 years versus drugs other than β‐blockers, providing long-term evidence supporting the use of bisoprolol in patients with hypertension in primary care.
